Children
Overboard!
What Children?
Overboard?
What? Children?
Overboard!
Executed in cold blood, Terrified families on the run
Scattered dreams, fleeing mayhem
Beaten faces are drowning … in pools of blood!
Desperate cries … pulses racing … cloaked in despair,
There is no choice but to escape,
To escape this dreaded affair
Slipping … away
Under the blanket of night
People … smugglers
Assisting their plight
Waves, crash around the rusty hull,
Decrepit vessel’s, sinking fast
Hapless refugees,
Clutch their children, in despair
The attempted navy rescue,
Offers no new hope
Trapped behind barbed wire
Psychologically scarred!
Inside parliament house, the conductor begins
His audience, he reads – In falsetto he sings
“They threw their children overboard!”
“They threw their children overboard!”
Waving his baton, his orchestra responds,
Deceptive violins, begin to play,
A distorted melody of racial fear
What Democracy!
Don’t you mean, hypocrisy?
Where’s the truth, where did it go?
Never mind the election is on!
Shred the facts, through the publicity machine
The buck stops
with the Howard Regime!

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
